Gofmaniada
Today, I happened across news of this, long stuck in the production process, gem of a stop-mo production from Russia. Reportedly, incorporating over 150 hand made puppets, work has been running since 2001 and the film is due to release around May 2014. From the few clips I've found online it looks like a beautiful piece of animating and I hope it gets a worldwide distribution!

Sticking with black and white again, but a great deal more humerous, this weeks suggestion is a fine Charles Chaplin classic, The Gold Rush.

Adobe have anounced a consumer preview of the upcoming edition of Photoshop, CS6. From now untill sometime in the summer you will be able to Beta test the software for free - all you need is to sign up for an Adobe ID (if you don't already have one).
Remember that as Beta software there may be a few bugs Adobe still havent worked out, but it should be mostly stable, and certainly worth a look if the new features might be helpful in your design practice.
